Mercedes A200 CDi AMG?

Cheers for all, well most of the comments.

They are fairly chunky looking in the flesh, the standard one looks a bit naff but the AMG kitted one with the chunkier bumpers and nicer interior is much nicer. Have to agree with you though Jonny, the screen arrangement is a bit of an afterthought and the guy in Agnews wasn't chuffed when I asked if it could be removed and put in the glovebox. The more I look at it though, the more I 'get used to it'.

Not too interested in leasing one to be honest, would rather purchase but thanks for the heads up.

The prices vary greatly from £21k up to well over £30k for a well specced, very low miler. They are more expensive that the average hatchback I agree but I only hope to see a similar gap at the other end of the ownership, like most things.

I will be waiting until the January sales anyway, end Feb but thought I would start doing a bit of digging now.

Auto or Manual? I'm for Auto if I'm honest. Again, my Wife does a fair bit of town driving so feel the absence of a clutch pedal would do her good.
